Rage. Just incoherent rage.

Ok, but if I'm reading it right, it blew 630,000 years ago. It blew before that 1.3 million years ago and they expect it to follow the same timetable. So.... we've got some time.

Morning All, So this scared the crap out of me. Local NPR station was talking about the series of events of what would happen if NK fired a missile. And he was really descriptive which kind of scared me (don't you think some of this should be secret? I mean the guy pretty much told me every little detail). Anyway they then started talking about the legality of Trump being able to use the nuclear triad. They then brought up the point that back in 50s there was never a peace agreement signed so Korea and us are still technically at war. Based on that effect and legislation started by Truman which allows for full access and control by the president to have first strike capability, I can see this scenario playing out: North Korea does some kind of test. Trump see it as a threat and goes off the deep end like he does. First Nuke. North korea sees this and hits Tokyo and Seoul. Trump justifies the action and explaining he does not to need to go to Congress based on there was never an end to the Korean war and He was in his writes to fire anything at anytime. That creeps me right the fuck out. Not to mention any new laws that allow us to continue and perpetual war. Fuck that. Not sure whether this will make you feel better or worse, but Kelly, Mattis and McMaster have plans and practice for what to do if Trump literally "lunges for the football." Cringe!

That Yellowstone super volcano has been in the news before.
They keep moving the timeline up on it in every story, but they move it by a 100 or 1000 years or so.
Which, it will be catastrophic when it blows, but it isn't something I can worry about right now.

Rand Paul sold himself to the devil. I feel no sympathy for the awkward ass situation he found himself in this morning.

So along the lines of what is happening in PR and also the CA fires. It’s a additional test to see how Cheeto responds. Things PR and CA have in common: did not vote for him, lots of brown people Things PR and CA don’t have in common: money. The area devastated in CA will cause a huge economic shortfall for the state and country. So, if he shows more concern for CA, it’s about money. If he is the same, it’s about race and politics. I was thinking the exact same thing. Doesn't he have a winery in CA as well? Wasn't he bragging about it a few month ago at an inappropriate time?

That was his Virginia winery close to Charlottesville.

But I’m sure he has pals in the industry in CA. Or golf.

Click-bait. There is absolutely no way of pinpointing when a volcano will erupt until it begins the process. #geologymajor #studiedyellowstone If Yellowstone ever does blow, we're all fucked. So don't bother worrying about it.

I'm trying to work out Peter Dinklage's reaction. At first he looks shocked and puzzled, then like he wants to blend into his chair, but then he kind of gives him this appeasing nod like, "Sure, yeah, legit." I'm trying to decide whether I hate him now.

And I am still on the Sanders thing. Wtf. They couldn't find a woman to be the keynote speaker? At a women's convention?
They would rather have someone who has a notoriously misogynistic male following? Eat shit.
I have all of the anger today.

I think it's a pretty well-known fact that ComiCon attracts a certain male element of the type that would laugh at that comment and also fantasize about being able to do the same. There's a pretty vast network of women warning each other about not wandering off alone at Cons, etc.
Obvs #notallcons or whatever, but yeah.
